Caroline Bohra - Whiz Kid of the Week

Welcome to Whiz Kids. Each week we will honor a great kid from Lawrence Township who is an inspiration to all of us, adults included.

  • 12 years old
  •  Seventh-grader at Lawrence Middle School
  • Straight-A student who loves to be on stage

Caroline Bohra shows us all you can do anything you put your heart and mind into accomplishing. She is a straight-A student and on the High Honor Roll at Lawrence Middle School. Previously, while at Lawrence Intermediate School, she was an MVP. 

She excels in math as well as writing and participates in her school’s Enrichment Challenge program. Currently in seventh-grade she is learning algebra in advanced math at LMS. Last fall, she went to Mercer County Community College to hear a lecture presented by two college professors about the Renaissance period and Leonardo da Vinci. As part of the program, she wrote a paper about those topics. The professors then critiqued her writing. She recently learned that she earned an A grade from the professors on that paper.

Earlier this month Caroline received the High Honor Roll Award, the All-Star Award and the Drama Participation Award during Lawrence Middle School’s third quarter awards ceremony.
